Instructions

To begin, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it is crumbly. Add the sugar and cocoa powder to the mixture and stir until everything is combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well combined.

Next, stir in the chocolate chips. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into a 12-inch circle and cut it into 8 wedges. Place the wedges onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Starting at the wide end, roll each wedge up into a crescent shape. Brush the tops of each crescent with the egg wash and sprinkle with a bit of sugar.

Bake the crescents for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack. Enjoy!
